turned as successor to Mr.. Moffatt. and
the latter by unseating Representative
elect Arnold on contest. Nobody

cost if it be possible to do it. They real
ize the very slender hold they have upon

long their lease of power. If the cleo

probable-the Republicans viii have an

1t Is a little remarkable. after the pro
longed discussion through the press and
otherwise of the admission of Dakota
INTO the Union, that Mr.. Turpie. the new
Democratic senator from Indiana. whose
election to seat in the senate. il is
claimed. was tinctUed with fraud.
should be the first TO propose the admis-
sion of that territory. His action as 10
Dakota would indicate 4 greater degree
of magnanimity than is possessed by the
average representative Democrat if lac
had stopped at that territory and made
an honest effort for It's admission. but
the partisan cropped out when he at
tached Washington territory to his prop
osition. The last named territory is
claimed to lie Democratic. which ac-,
counts fer the new senator's generosity

1t is almost remarkable that the
special Washington correspondent OF the
New York Herald should be so poorly
informed as to assert that when con-
gress met the Republicans detied the
Democrats TO touch the tariff and pro-
noumced any effort at revision free
trade doctrine" OF course every other
intelligent American citizen is aware
that the most ardent advocates of pro
lection have been DESTROYS for two years
for revision to remove the acknowledged
injustices and inequalities and errors of
the present tariff. They have simply in
sisted upon maintaining the protective
principle in whatever tariff prevails
And notwithstanding the Herald mans
assertion that they have changed front.
when the fight comes the rank and file
of the Republican party will be found
true to this principle. And the admin
stratiOn leaders will abandon their fight

fused they were threatened with venge-
ance. \ boycott committee was formed

stop their custom, and some were found
